Vahan Bichakhchyan: I am always with the national team with my heart and soul

Armenia international and Legia Warsaw midfielder Vahan Bichakhchyan has announced that he will be unable to join the national team for its November Nations League matches.

“I am very disappointed that I will not be able to feature in my national team's final two Nations League matches.

I have only recently returned to the pitch following my injury and am still in the process of fully regaining my fitness. During this period, it is very important for me to gradually get back into the rhythm of competition, manage my physical workload properly and avoid rushing things, especially given that I have already suffered a recurrence of the injury.

By gradually increasing my playing time at club level, I am aiming to regain the necessary fitness and match sharpness, return to full form and be able to help our national team to the best of my ability.

I wish our guys the best of luck in the upcoming matches, and I’m confident they’ll do everything they can to bring joy to our fans.

My soul and heart are always with the national team. See you soon!” the 27-year-old footballer said, according to the national team's press service.

Armenia will host Cyprus on November 12 before travelling to face Latvia on November 15.
